Native America Calling: The next generation of Indigenous fire practitioners
Friday, November 3, 2023
The next generation of Indigenous fire practitioners
The increase in unprecedented damage from wildfires knows no boundaries and international Indigenous fire management experts see global participation as a solution.
At the heart of their work is recognition that climate change is a major contributing factor. They’re bringing traditional fire knowledge to a new generation who are inheriting some of the worst conditions for destructive wildfires in history.
Join Native America Calling and talk with some of those gathered for this year’s Indigenous Peoples Burning Network Workshop.
Guests on Native America Calling
Charity Battise (Alabama Coushatta), student at the University of Oklahoma
Ryan Reed (Karuk, Hupa, and Yurok), Indigenous fire practitioner
Victor Steffensen (Tagalaka descendent), lead fire practitioner of the Firesticks Indigenous Alliance
